Friend,

Please read the following :

Eager to grow your Instagram following. Looking to make the “Popular” page? Want to win friends and influence people with your ninja-like iPhoneography skills? Read on to learn eight rules that will help you quickly grow on Instagram. These rules may not guarantee Instagram success but they certainly might help!

1. Rule #1: Post only your best photos. Don’t just think you are going to post random pics of yesterday’s worn gym socks and people are going to follow you in droves. I would recommend putting together 10 – 20 images that you are really pleased with as your base for your portfolio before you even create your Instagram account.

2.Rule #2: Only post a few photos each day. It’s okay to post a chunk of photos immediately to get your portfolio started. However, I would not recommend more than 12 – 16 photos to start with. After that you should post 2 – 4 pictures a day tops! You don’t want to bury people who follow you with tons of images.

3. Rule #3: Spread your postings throughout the day. Don’t pick your 2 – 4 images from rule #2 and post them all up first think in the morning while drinking your morning coffee. Sure, go ahead and post your first photo while you enjoy your first cup, but wait and post the others throughout the day. I try and spread mine out by at least 2 hours each. If I have 4 photos to post for the day then it’ll take me 6 – 8 hours to get them all posted.

4.Rule #4: Post when people are most active. Get to know your followers Instagram habits. If you post your images during the most active times of day you are more likely to get a lot of likes in a short amount of time. That appears to be the main driver behind making the popular page – a lot of “likes” in a short period of time. If you are getting a like or two every 30 seconds for 30 minutes you are likely going to make the Popular page. If none of your followers are online when you post an image it is unlikely you are going to get that rapid-fire “liking” you need. As your follower base grows, this rule becomes less and less important because you will have enough followers to generate the snowball effect you need.

5.Rule #5: Tag your photos! Tagging with a hashtag will cause your photos to be grouped with other photos with the same tag. If you are posting an image of a rose tag it with #rose and #flower, and maybe even a color tag like #red (if it’s red). Don’t put random and unrelated tags on your photos. If it is a flower don’t tag it #tractor. But feel free to get creative if you like.

6. Rule #6: Follow other people. Following other people is one of the best ways to get followers. Some people are auto-followers, if you follow them they’ll follow you. They may expect the same in return. If you are really eager to grow your following then go follow a lot of people. However, I highly recommend not following too many people.

7. Rule #7: Leave meaningful feedback and comments. Leaving meaningful comments is the second most likely way you’ll get someone to follow you. You will shortly realize that the majority of feedback reads something like this: “Nice!” “Awesome!” “Cool!”. Those comments are welcome but they aren’t going to win you any followers. Rather than saying “Kewl!”, try something like “Your edit really brings out the natural light. Did you use an app to produce those rays? They are beautiful!” Notice that I’m providing feedback and asking a question. If you ask a question, most people will take the time to answer.

8. Rule #8: Get involved! Be active in the Instagram community. There are many “micro communities” within Instagram. One of the very best is the @joshjohnson #JJ community. Josh runs daily challenges and Insta-forums twice very day which are great for finding others and being found. Join in on the fun and participate in the daily challenges and forums.
